MSI AfterBurner Overclock Application Discussion forum This forum is intended for MSI customers for questions on the AfterBurner Overclock Utility based off Rivatuner. In this section the users help each other out with answers as well as support staff from MSI.

Hello guys,
I've got a small problem with MSI-A, which is:
As soon as I start moving my mouse in any game with Afterburner opened (with OSD), my FPS drop by a huge amount (in CS with fps_max 200, from stable 200 to 100-130).
I still didn't find a fix for this, except of turning the polling rate down to 125Hz (which feels crappy and kind of terminates the use of my G403/Kone Pure)

I did some testing and found out, it's due to the OSD itself, if I exit RTSS, it works, but this destroys the complete sense of MSI-A for me.

So I'll just ask now, instead of searching to no aveil:
Did anyone come up to this problem and found a fix for that? I want to dodge a fresh install of Windows, since I just did 3 months ago, but if there will be no fix, I have no other choice.

Before the question arises, this problem came up completely randomly after 2 months of usage of this system right now and it's the only one I've got, everything else works just fine. (I think it started with me adding a delayed injection, since it didn't work too well with the Steam BP overlay (needed for Steam Controller), but is still there after a reinstall, and so on)

Things I've tried so far:
>Reinstalling MSI-A and RivaTuner
>disabling/enabling the delayed injection of the OSD
>playing around with the settings in RivaTuner itself
>playing around with the settings of MSI-A
>closing all programs except of MSI-A
>clean reinstall graphic drivers
>changing GPU (upgrade)

In case it turns out to be G-sync, you *are* limiting your framerate to always be below your monitor's maximum refresh rate, right? If you run G-sync at the monitor's upper limit, V-sync will be used instead.

Hello. I know your CPU is more than enough for CSGO, but have you check the CPU usage when that happen?

What are your graphics settings? Is not the best option with that good CPU and GPU that you have, but, you can test with them and try to decrease the quality. You did with MSI & RTSS, maybe if you do now with the game... try to use +mat_queue_mode 2 and check if does something, if doesn't, try m_rawinput 1 or 0 (I think this one will have 0 effect honestly). Try to turn off at all your mouse software (LGS or whatever), don't uninstall, just off, from services.msc if needed.

Oh, didn't know that, sorry!
Just out of curiosity, why isn't it allowed?

Only happens with CSGO?

I tried several options in cs, including mat_queue_mode 2 (-1 seems to work better though) and nothing helped, I tried shutting down services too, but this didn't do anything too.

It happens in every game where I use my mouse (cod4, cs, prey, borderlands and so on)
